Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I've decided to answer your, likely rhetorical, question from your first comment and this one in one comment instead of two:

Perhaps the tankies are making you question some deeply held beliefs you have and that’s making you uncomfortable?

You're not wrong here. Even if my views don't differ that much in many ways from even the lemmygrad or hexbear users (at least on economical terms) there's still some topics that I just do not share their views on (You mentioned their stand on authoritarianism) and it does make me uncomfortable because very often you either have to 100% agree with them or are instantly excluded.

In the end, I'm usually hopping on to see memes to give my brain some distraction, enjoy some good banter or laugh at some quality memes and not see yet another online civil war unfold.

And for the last I'm often just too tired to participate in after 8hrs of work
